OH DEAR LORD WE ARE OUT OF FUEL AND OXYGEN IT’S SO COLD SO COLD
Um ackshually you wouldn’t freeze in space, you’d overheat.
i hope that helps
Don't panic. Shut everything down. Call the Fuel Rats.

Only had to do it for that once… They were awesome, saved my Cutter that I forgot I’d removed the fuel scoop from.

“Among the stars” might suggest it’s very much not cold. You’re in a stellar nursery.
I had a manager tells me this once. It was literally written on the mug he was drinking out of at the time. I remember feeling so valued and inspired.
You could fit every planet in the Solar System between Earth and our moon simultaneously.
I have a feeling we would have a lot of problems if you did though.
It’s definitely not recommended by the few cosmology sources I’ve read.
Fuck you for making me look this up. Only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would fit together. Venus, Mars, and Mercury are too much.
Depends on which part of the orbit. Perigee (closest point) is ~ 354,491 km surface to surface. Apogee (farthest point) is ~ 397,291 km surface to surface. At Apogee you could got them all. At perigee not at all.
I think our oceans would leave earth, tide-wise
Please don’t.
I bet I could miss those, too.
I could? I think you overestimate my power.
Make sure to lead your shot. At Apollo velocities, you’ll need to aim where the moon will be at in three days, not where it is right now.
Why limit yourself to Apollo velocities? We’re trying to shoot the moon, not land in it.
The moon takes up only around 0.00077% of the visible area of the sky. That’s a pretty small target.
Also it moves at 1 km/s around its orbit
So you have almost an hour before it passes you. Easy mode.
And begging your pardon sir, it’s a big ass sky.
Who are these people who cross out two letters of a cussword worried about? Everyone can still read this and all it does is make the edit look like someone is a pearl clutcher.
It’s typically for posting to platforms that “deprioritise” posts that contain “naughty” words, not actually anything about humans caring about it.
What do you mean? What cuss word? What does it say?!?
Butthole. It says butthole.
Same reason that people bleep out two nanoseconds of the word in audio
Ya but the moon covers at best only about 10 ppm of the sky’s area so given a random direction within the hemisphere defined by the sky in which the moon is visible and traveling in a straight line you have a roughly 99.9990% chance of missing so that’s understandable really.
Don’t get me started about inclinations
farked?

Spoken like someone that hasn’t played Kerbal.
That’s like the pasties of censorship lol
Yes you could have fucked this up more. You could have posted this censored bullshit on the Internet
Actually it makes more sense to state the moons solid angle in the sky from where I’m standing, instead of its surface area ☝️🤓
Hold me and never let me go, you insatiable nerd.
Oh my god I can still see the swear you tried to censor you satan worshipper! I’m so offended I dropped my body of christ into my tea!
The internet is for children ONLY, please take this FILTH back to your BBS, heathens!
It’s ok. He then knew “hell” was literally the sun. Keep looking at it and you’ll “see” God too.
I thought i was gonna have an easy time aiming for yo mama,
But the joke is on me cause i miss her.
Nice
Not as fucking up as much as posting censored memes. You can swear on Lemmy, it’s allowed.
Aim for the ground, if you miss that, just give up
And the next night, try doing it again with Sony Walkmen.
Disagreed. If you miss, take advantage and continue missing
Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you’re now in orbit, and that was almost certainly the goal anyway
Plot twist, it’s elliptical.
It’s moving 1 km/s, though.
No worries, we will loop back around using a slingshot maneuver, keep going until we get where we want to be. :)
It’s moving pretty fast though.
Nuh uh. I measured it just now, put my trusty ruler in front of my face and measured only 2 CM!
That’s why in KSP I use the space map and just keep adding DeltaV until the orbit line from my rocket to the mun is a straight line and I launch when the planet is right in front of me.
Oh, that sounds like a challenge. I’ma build a rocket with turkey heat shields
